If you feel like you keep seeing tennis skirts everywhere — on and off a tennis court — you’re not the only one. Y2K fashion has made a comeback for the last couple of months, including the pleated skirts once reserved for actually playing tennis.

According to insights from Lyst from February, “pleated, check skirts [are] up 45% month-on-month,” and top-searched products include tennis skirts from both Adidas and Nike. And now that peaked interest seems to finally be showing up IRL as the weather warms up, and it’s finally hot enough to wear a skirt.

While there are plenty of athletic skirts to choose from, if you want to get in on this trend, you’ll want to snag a pleated style. While the flat-front skirts are cute and functional, the pleats are where the fun is, thanks to their flirty nature.

If you already have a few tennis skirts in your closet, consider wearing them out and about when you’re not on the court. Pair a tennis skirt with a basic t-shirt or crop top on a hot summer’s day instead of reaching for your usual jean shorts. Or pair your skirt with an oversized crewneck sweatshirt for a cozy-yet-put-together look.

Below, shop five tennis skirts that would be just at home on a tennis court as they would be off.
